What health rules do you have to follow to ship a human body?
November 3rd, 2007 | by health |
stingjam asked:
If a person living in the USA dies and they want to be buried in their homeland (Jamaica for example), what health rules need to be complied with for the body to be boxed and shipped? Does the body need to be treated/prepared for burial before it is shipped? Do they put it on the same airplane that people and baggage is carried on? Is it normal for dead bodies to be on an airplane with civilian passengers without notifying them?

Your best bet is to contact the airline that you are flying with and they will give you specific details on what is required.

Normally dead people are carried in caskets.On the same plane as passengers are going.People do not need to be notified as the casket is carried with luggage.

embalmed, hermetically sealed inner casket which is then placed in an outer casket/container (e.g. “airtray” which is wood base & fiberboard carton top, or wood crate)
yes, on same plane as regular pax. Yes, no notification to other pax (what purpose would that serve?)
